The doctor has ordered Phil home to get rest and treatment. Extremely proud of the new Facemelter album, and the work that he, Dave, John, and Mike have done, Phil wants the tour to continue. So to honor his wish, we have a substitute bass player until he's able to return. Thank you for all of your well wishes and support. Phil says: "On with the show."

Brad Lang will be substituting for this US tour. He was gracious enough to step up to help us with less than 24-hour's notice. He's with us right now in Wisconsin, and is extremely proud and excited to be playing with Y&T and helping out for Phil.
